    Sadly the limitations are inherent in the medium.

    No, I just mean text doesn't convey tone of voice, hence it is easily misunderstood.

    Sure. Funny thing is that your side never gave up on the Russia issue, even with no proof. Again, there shouldn't be even the possibility or appearance of wrong doing.
    OJ wouldn't have looked so guilty if he hadn't of led the police on a big long chase.
    George Floyd would have made a better martyr had he not been a druggie passing counterfeit bills.
    Duke Lacrosse players wouldn't have gotten in trouble had they not hired a stripper to entertain them at a party.

    My side stayed out of the Russian issue, except to tell them to shut up about it.

    My side hates Hillary & Bill Clinton as much as we hate Trump.

    My side would prefer that partisans start caring about the country more than their favorite popsicle color.

    Cheers.

    And you still think that there is nothing that needs fixing. Weird.

    Are you serious?

    The two parties ARE the problem. This is pretty simple stuff.

    Hey, I agree with you. That's why we need protections from the shenanigans that both parties pull. We don't need proof before we put in protections. We need protections so that there is never a need to look for proof.

    The media used to provide some protection. They don't any longer. Both sides own their own media. Now there is just noise from the two parties. But let's not try to prevent a problem on the next election, because we have no proof of anything on this election.

    Seriously?

    The people in each state elect the people who do these things. They did the things. They certified. There is not a single credible source saying the election is fraudulent. Not one.

    This was Giuliani's TOP witness. His BEST.

    Full on loony tunes.

    Seriously? You can't get over the current election and want the next one to be better?

    Declared the cleanest election in history by 51 state election officials and members of Trump's cabinet. Yes. I am hopeful all of our elections are as clean as this year's.

    Can we do better? Always. Everyone can always do better than what they are doing right now, in every way.

    Now I think you're just making stuff up.
    200 ft away with binoculars. Please.
    Every state has a bipartisan commission setting up processes and rules.
    And election laws need to be passed.

    If you think that dems are sooo good to pull the kind of fraud you're talking about while republicans are watching, that makes republicans complete nincompoops.

    Again, put up. I trust the election process.
    trump lost by a landslide. At least 3 states would have to have committed fraud. 2 of them republican run. I simply don't buy conspiracy theories.
    There's no logic to the claims being made, especially given the fact there has been no evidence.

    His narcissism led him to lose.
    He has said he knows more than his generals about war.
    He thinks he knows more than anyone else on every issue in the world.

    His narcissism doesn't allow him to be a good leader. No one is ever knows the most about everything.
    Good leaders surround themselves with good people and then allow them to do their jobs.

    trump can only surround himself with yes men/people. For he always has to have it his way.

    And yet, they now lead the world in trade talks.
    We decided to sit out.

    The previous president was the most admired.

    I see his downplaying of the virus as being linked to the upcoming election - he couldn't bear to contemplate the virus might interfere with his election chances.

    All he had to do was rally the country to fight the virus the way his experts recommended.
    But he fought them. Mostly because the recommendations were to limit large gatherings, weakening economic activity.

    The economy was what he thought was his only path to victory.
    But when the virus hit, that was his real easy path. The country had a common enemy. But he pitted red v blue states. Mask v non mask.
    Everything needs to have a conflict to him.

    If democrats legit pulled off a steal by conning thousands of people to commit a felony, and convince them all to keep it a secret, then they are smart enough to be put in charge of the entire world! I agree with your assessment. Republicans are dumb and shouldn't be leading anything.

    That wasn't even an attempt....it was a photo op and nothing more. Are the attempts on going......I think not. NK is more dangerous now then before
    Again....nothing has changed under Trump.....just things more expensive here.
    Right, all Democrats support defunding police. Nonsensical
    All of these were done better under Obama
    So am I and mine didn't change
    Again, very little is different now and Trump (and apparently you) never grasped how it works
    Made up nonsense. Unless you're ok with negotiating with the Taliban......a terrorist organization.
    As compared to doing what? I'm surprised Trump didn't leave it to individual states to cut travel
    Trump didn't defeat ISIS
    These were more "business deals" than peace accords
    Make minor changes and call it "winning".
    Remind me again how much in taxes the big corporations pay. You can start with one zero and keep adding as many as you like.
    Right...right.....that was all done under Trump. Nonsense
    It's a right granted in the Constitution.
    Trump only wanted judges loyal to him, McConnell only wants judges loyal to......who the f**k knows but he made sure he rammed as many through before he did any real "governing".
    In what world is it that Republicans are the ones not doing that.
    Trump should have resigned for a lot of reasons but the biggest one is he's insane. That is a fact.

    So I look through your answers, and I see that, in fact, you agreed with a lot of things Trump did.

    LOL! Not with any assistance from Trump. Trump's anti-CCP policies have been opposed by a united bipartisan corrupt ruling class which iis in business with the CCP.

    "The flurry of media reports this week about Face++, Ma, and the role of the private sector in building China’s increasingly sprawling surveillance state, however, left out another prominent investor in the company: Hunter Biden.

    The son of the former Vice President Joe Biden has spent much of the last decade building overseas investments and business deals, arrangements that could complicate his father’s bid for the presidency by posing an array of potential conflicts of interest."
